In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

Liu Ru gasped, immediately guessing what Li Yi was about to do.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Ru gripped Li Yi's hands tightly, lowered her voice, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Yi, killing someone means losing your head."

Li Yi remained calm, his eyes showing no sign of wavering.

"If I don't get rid of him, my family will be the ones who suffer in the end. I have no choice."

Liu Ru stared blankly at the man in front of her. He had changed, and her heart felt a little strange.

"Then be careful and make sure you come back alive, for your younger siblings, for Liu Fang, and for... me."

Li Yi turned his head, picked up his bow and arrow, and continued practicing.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle."

Liu Ru nodded and silently went home to pack her clothes; she was going to move in that night.

Li Yi picked up the black lacquered bow, nocked an arrow, and fixed his gaze on the distant bullseye.

call out!

The arrow whistled and hit the bullseye.

A hundred steps is just the beginning, a hundred steps, three hundred steps...

Li Yi tirelessly honed his skills time and time again.

The perfect fusion of body and bow and arrow is also a process of mutual adjustment between two souls.

To truly achieve unity of mind and arrow.

The final arrow was launched with the force of a thousand pounds.

collapse!

The wooden target cracked.

Li Yi was covered in sweat, and the soreness in his body had reached its peak, but he could clearly feel that his body was recovering rapidly.

Archery (Proficient): 50/500

[Effect: Draws a three-stone horn bow, with armor-piercing power!]

Liu Ru also ate dinner at Li Yi's house that evening. After the group finished eating, Li Yi went out to the yard to continue practicing.

......

The next morning, Li Yi left early. Everyone except Liu Ru thought he was going hunting.

After entering the city, Li Yi went straight to the teahouse that Ti Wang Dagui frequented every day and found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

Although with Li Yi's current archery skills, he could easily kill Wang Dagui from a distance.

But doing this makes it easy to be targeted.

Because in this era, killing someone with an arrow is no different from killing someone with a gun in modern times.

Li Yi killed Wang Dagui to eliminate future troubles, not to be wanted by the government and have his whole family executed.

In order to achieve his goal, Li Yi prepared the medicine before leaving home, waiting for Wang Dagui to appear so he could find an opportunity to drug him.

Today, Li Yi even disguised himself so that no one would recognize him except for close friends and family.

At 9:00 AM, an arrogant and domineering voice came from outside.

"Waiter, hurry up and bring me a pot of tea, I'm dying of thirst."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Dagui swaggered in from outside, followed by a group of his underlings, all laughing and joking.

The waiter and the owner exchanged a bitter glance.

This old man comes here every day to eat and drink for free, and you can't afford to offend him.

The waiter could only go to the kitchen to prepare.

At this moment, Li Yi had already stood up without making a sound and walked to the path that the waiter would inevitably take.

Not long after, the waiter hurried over.

Li Yi aimed at the spout of the kettle and flicked the prepared powder into it.

The waiter was completely unaware of this and continued walking forward with the teapot in his hand.

No one around him noticed Li Yi's little actions; they were all drinking their tea.

"Sir, here's your tea, please enjoy!"

Wang Dagui never bothered to look at insignificant people, saying without even raising his head, "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't kick you. Get lost!"

Wang Dagui was in a good mood today for a simple reason: Li Yi was about to join the army, and that meant his family members—Li Yue, Liu Ru, and Liu Fang—were also in a good mood...

"Brothers, drink! After today, we'll make sure you all have a good time tomorrow!"

Wang Dagui picked up the bowl and shouted loudly.

After listening, Li Yi remained calm; he wouldn't argue with a dead man.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he stood up and walked towards the outhouse behind the teahouse.

These days, outhouses are all dry toilets, and they're also places where biogas accumulates.

With a little manipulation, it can be detonated.

Li Yi chose this place to make his move precisely because he saw this potential.

Before long, Wang Dagui and his group arrived.

One by one, they rushed in, clutching their stomachs and pale-faced.

"Damn it, everyone's got diarrhea. They must have eaten something unclean. Just wait, I'm going to rip your shop down in a minute..."

Wang Dagui cursed as he entered the outhouse, not even closing the door, and squatted down after taking off his pants.

The boss who followed was so frightened that he trembled all over and kept apologizing in front of the toilet.

"Get the hell out of here! Can't you even go to the toilet in peace? How am I supposed to relieve myself when you're all outside?" Wang Dagui roared angrily, then pinched his nose and yelled at his henchmen, "You guys get out of the way, damn it, it stinks!"

The underlings were clearly scared and dared not provoke Wang Dagui. They scattered one by one, and the surroundings became quiet.

Li Yi was already hiding in the tree branch and could clearly see the figures of Wang Dagui and his henchmen.

The moment the boss left, Li Yi drew his black lacquered bow to its full extent.

shhhhhh!

Three arrows were fired in quick succession, and almost instantly, three muffled thuds were heard, killing the three thugs on the spot.

Wang Dagui and another henchman heard the sound of something heavy falling beside them. Before they could react, Li Yi shot another arrow, and the henchman fell down as well.

Wang Dagui finally realized what was happening, pulled up his pants, and tried to run away.

In his panic, he tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.

Li Yi jumped down from above and came to Wang Dagui.

"Hero, spare my life! Spare my life!"

Wang Dagui was so frightened that he wet himself. He didn't even get a good look at Li Yi's face before kneeling down and kowtowing to him.

Without wasting words, Li Yi prepared to kill him.

At that very moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Although Wang Dagui was a scoundrel, he also had some courage. At this critical moment, he suddenly showed a fierce determination. He grabbed some dirt from the ground and slapped it at Li Yi's face before rushing out without a care in the world.

At this point, it was too late to use a bow and arrow.

There was no other way but to choose to use my bare hands without hesitation.

【Bajiquan (Mastery): 0/800】

[Effect: Improved physical condition, blood and energy levels are as high as mercury.]

Li Yi quickly caught up and slammed his elbow into Wang Dagui's back, the sound of bones cracking clearly audible.

Before Wang Dagui could even scream, Li Yi had already put him in a chokehold.

With a snap, his neck was broken.

Wang Dagui's eyes bulged out as he fell to the ground in despair, never knowing who killed him until his death.

Li Yi did not flee immediately.

He pulled all the arrows out of Wang Dagui's and the others' corpses.

Then it was thrown into the latrine.

Since no one wanted to offend Wang Dagui, no one would come over for a while, giving Li Yi ample time to deal with the situation.

After closing the toilet door, the smell inside gradually became overwhelming within a few minutes.

In the brief moment that followed, Li Yi had looted all the belongings of Wang Dagui and the others.

Li Yi weighed the cloth bag in his hand; it was heavy, containing about 35 taels of silver. He grabbed a handful, but it wasn't official silver; it was all loose silver. Satisfied, he put it into his waistband.
